wild things

You make my heart sing…

The central Florida landscape has been painted with an explosion of wildflowers. I asked Doug to stop on our way home from tennis, so I could capture a picture of just one of the many fields sporting lavender. They grow in the open and they grow between the stands of orange trees. They grow along the highways and pretty much everywhere else that the wind has blown them, hither and yon.

And isn’t Doug  just funny taking a picture of me, taking a picture? But I did love the sky, so I had to share it.

 

In my own yard, however, the purple flowers are comparatively sparse. It is the yellow ones that are just beginning their show.

Every year the bouquet atop the power line pole surprises me as if it is the first time I have ever seen it, and it is delighting me yet again.
